Apple Of The Sun - The Argument For The Universal Gravitational 'Constant' Not Being Constant

太阳的苹果--"引力常数G "不为常数的推证

by Zhenzhi Feng, 冯振志, 冯辰 Chen Feng ...

在天文观测中，有不少“引力异常现象”，是既有的引力理论所无法解释的。因此，研究各种空间粒子的运动对形成力的影响，具有举足轻重的意义。本人从客观实际出发，根据恒星的粒子辐射，推导出了恒星的三个斥力公式，并且撰写了恒星斥力的文章。力的存在一定会有施力者。我反复揣摩：靠质量本身就能形成引力，这从能量守恒定律的角度看，是说不通的。进一步的推论是，引力的施力者应该存在于质量之外。经过长期思考，我认为，相邻的两个物体之间，能出现“引力”，根据引力表现出的各种特征，比较像是宇宙空间环境中漫射的神秘莫测的强透射粒子捣鬼的结果。目前，我们虽然全面探测它们有困难，但也不能轻率地否认它们的存在和作用。中微子是强透射粒子的典型代表，尤其是。是隐形高手，身怀绝技，最有可能是引力的肇事者。宇宙中中微子的通量，目前我们无法确知。在没有找到更有说服力的引力理论之前，要认可宇宙大爆炸理论是完全正确的，也为时尚早 ...
